Summary

The study aimed to determine the effect of different simulation methods on nursing students' self-confidence, satisfaction, and clinical breastfeeding management knowledge and skills in managing and supporting breastfeeding in the early postpartum period.

Detailed description

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of simulation-based training methods in improving the breastfeeding management knowledge and skills of third-year nursing students. The study utilized a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test control groups. The results of the intervention groups that received high-fidelity, hybrid, and telesimulation training were compared with a control group that received traditional training. A clinical follow-up phase was conducted after the interventions to evaluate their impact. The study used various data collection tools to measure different factors, including knowledge and skills, confidence in learning, satisfaction, training satisfaction, and self-assessment of simulations.

Conditions

• Breastfeeding

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	high-fidelity simulation	The high-fidelity simulation involved a student and a computer-based mannikin. Prior to the start of the scenario, a pre-briefing session was provided. The scenario was executed with the help of the researcher from the control room. The student's performance during the simulation was recorded with video. Each simulation lasted around 30 minutes. Following the simulation, a debriefing session was held with the student, and feedback was provided. Scales were used to assess the implementation of the practices.
OTHER	hybrid simulation	The hybrid simulation involved a student and a standardized patient. The patient wore a wearable breast model and held a model baby. Prior to the start of the scenario, a pre-briefing session was provided. The student's performance during the simulation was recorded with video. Each simulation lasted around 30 minutes. Following the simulation, a debriefing session was held with the student, and feedback was provided. Scales were used to assess the implementation of the practices.
OTHER	telesimulation	The telesimulation involved a student and a standardized patient. The patient wore a wearable breast model and held a model baby. Students and patients communicated via video conferencing. Prior to the start of the scenario, a pre-briefing session was provided. The student's performance during the simulation was recorded with video. Each simulation lasted around 30 minutes. Following the simulation, a debriefing session was held with the student, and feedback was provided. Scales were used to assess the implementation of the practices.
